This week, we learned about the different blood types, and which types of blood can be given if a transfusion is needed. We did and experiment to test which blood types can be given to which.
The four types of blood, type A, B, AB, and O, all can be transfused to certain blood types. If someone has type AB, they are a Universal Recipient, which means that they can receive any blood for a transfusion. However, type AB cannot give blood to anyone. If you are type O, you are a Universal Donor, which means you can give blood to every blood type. Type O blood types can only receive type O. Type A can receive type A and O, and can give to type A and AB. Type B can give to type B and AB, and can get type B and O.
Questions: Can you take antigens off of a blood cell? Can you change your blood type? Can you have too much blood?
Deer Jack, your blog was yummylicious with lots of juicy fluids. Did you know that blood is actually every colour except red because red is the only colour it reflects and so your eyes see red. sinsherely Lars
Thank you Lars. I did not know that about blood, it’s very interesting.
